Screaming For The Poor |
Yes JAH give thanks |
And i have seen many homeless walk the streets |
Yes with out shelter nuh clothes upon their back no food to eat |
Then hear mi out |
Oh yes |
I have heard screaming from the poor oh yes |
Someone please call the police |
I have heard screaming from the poor |
1−1-9 alert then it’s a state of emergency |
Awright den coo-yah now |
Den check di condition di yutes dem living in |
Ransackle board house, zinc fence and pit latrine |
Hey poverty stress dem out some have dem big gun slinging |
Uptown and living large dem neva cease from di killing |
Den momma ban har belly and bawl |
Upon di death toll shi hear har one son name guh call |
Try some hustling guh put up a one stall |
Here comes metro police awright oh yes |
I have heard screaming from the poor oh yes |
Someone please call the police |
I have heard screaming from the poor |
1−1-9 alert we living in a state of emergency |
Hear mi out |
Den ghetto yutes be careful of dem pencil neck trickster |
Hey fi a spit inna di bucket dem wi sell yuh fi di length a di dollar |
Mouth full a lies dem a failure |
RASTA burn out dem free paper |
Den all dem good fa is to enslave the poor for cheap wages |
Hey man son toiling for length of dayses |
Education is so good but so expensive |
Oh mi cyaant even find di monthly bills |
I have heard screaming from the poor oh yes |
Someone please call the police |
I have heard screaming from the poor |
1−1-9 alert living in a state of emergency |
Den tell mi a who boost di yutes and tun dem inna ruff neck |
Gi dem big gun fi buss and mek dem a beat dem chest |
Big house pretty cyar and nuff fanciness |
Yuh gi dem drugs fi sell and den gi feds dem address |
I see dat yuh nuh care about the homeless |
Ghetto living is a day to day stress |
Nuff yutes walk di streets confuse and perplex |
They never know what coming up next |
Yes yes |
I have heard screaming from the poor oh yes |
Someone please call the police |
I have heard screaming from the poor |
1−1-9 alert living in a state of emergency |
